Energy Efficiency Internships

 

 

Developing the Energy Efficiency Market

The Market Development Initiative was introduced in 2018 to strengthen the local energy efficiency economy by providing resources, support and solutions to residential and business customers throughout our communities in central and southern Illinois. By partnering with community-based organizations to identify needs and opportunities, Ameren Illinois has been able to create and execute energy efficiency programs that benefit all customers.

 

Over time, the Market Development Initiative aims to:

  • Provide job training in energy efficiency
  • Sponsor internship programs at local energy efficiency businesses
  • Establish new jobs with local energy efficiency businesses
  • Facilitate energy efficiency workshops
  • Expand income rebate program eligibility, and more

 

Creating Opportunity Through Education

The Market Development Initiative has made an immediate impact by supporting internships at community organizations across Illinois. Thanks to partner organizations like the Springfield NAACP, Neighborhood House Peoria, Meyer Climate Control, and others, we have together been able to provide job training to 15 interns, preparing a new generation of workers for careers in the growing energy efficiency field.
